Breeding

Imagen

It is a polygamous species. The mating season occurs between December and January, which is when the males and females group together.

The males behave aggressively towards each other and fight for the females. They rear up on their hind legs and then clash their horns together. The winner gains a small harem which he leaves after having mated with them.

The gestation period lasts for about 5 months, and the offspring are born between April and July. They have one or two kids, which they suckle until they are six months old. Subsequently any male offspring leave the mother and join the other males.
